I have absolutely no idea. What comes to mind immediately is that Gene Siskel was WAY too harsh on it, think he was offended at some of the supposed stereotypes and thought the plot didn't break any new ground. I thought it still at least had the John Hughes touch I liked so much in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but felt like the plot never really seemed to go anywhere. Come to think of it, that might have been a problem with Ferris Bueller too, but it was largely masked by amazing comic timing from the cast and director.

Oh yeah Gene's review of Ferris Bueller's Day Off was dumb crap as well, what kind of complaint is "every scene is done better in another movie"? That's not really the point of movies like these. At least Roger rated the films more appropriately even if it ultimately only came to a marginal recommendation (he gave both films 3 stars).
